Update:
Expedition Leader Mark
Tucker reports (Tuesday evening Nepal time) that the members have now returned
to Base Camp, and the expedition is now coming to an end. The Sherpas carried
down today from C4 and C3 and will continue stripping the mountain over the
next few days. Tucker, Jason, and Ang Passang are now working to organize all
the gear as it comes down and to order the yaks and porters for evacuating
Base Camp. This includes getting all of our rubbish and waste sorted, bagged,
and weighed and all the oxygen bottles accounted for so we can get our $4000
garbage deposit back. Thanks for following our adventure! Eric Simonson IMG Expeditions
